Crystal Cravings!

After months of waiting, Chanel's Fall/Winter 2012/2013 collection is here!  Bangles, pumps and clutches all encrusted in crystal.  Swoon!  

Finally I can sate my crystal cravings!  Budget permitting, of course. Especially since this is Chanel and I'm not an heiress...Womp womp.  :p

On a serious note, if these are my worst dilemmas, I'm a very lucky girl.

....is it September yet?

I ask because that's when Kimberly McDonald is launching her homewares collection!  There aren't a ton of images online, but this Lucite box with a beautiful geode perched atop the lid is stunning. 

I've been a bit obsessed ever since I first saw it (though for the life of me I cannot recall where).  Think of all the notes and baubles  it could hold--much loved mementos on display.  Luckily, my answer was only a Google search away, where I was able to locate this article on McDonald's collection, courtesy of British Vogue.  

And while it pains me that September seems so far away...it is my birthday month.  Maybe it's perfect timing after all.
